Interactive help (via pydoc.interact in 2.1 onwards)
doesn't use GNU readline.  This is easily amended by
using raw_input() instead of input.readline().  The
patch assumes that Helper.input is sys.stdin when
Helper.interact() is called but can be fixed trivially
if this assumption is invalid..

I like the idea, but not the execution. It should only use
raw_input when self.input is sys.stdin.

Jeremy, are you willing to revise your patch, considering
Guido's comment?

Rejecting the patch because of lack of activity.
